There are issues with authority, and misleading elements in our society, however you have two choices. Sink? Or Swim?
I choose to Swim. Rather than ride pillion, as was the case in my youth, I will fight back. Now, I focus on solutions; instead of problems.
Forget about TV. Forget about Politics. If we keep the focus there, we'll remain self-loathing. If nothing changes, nothing changes. Change yourself.
